If you don't have the dominate skill, you can just follow her to the phone booth, and before she makes the call feed on her. You don't have to even kill her, just feed on her for a bit and she'll get forgetful and stupid. Hoorah, masquerade preserved.

Yeah, I decided to try a trance on her, before she got to the phone booth. I watched her, to see what would happen when she came out of it, she just walked off, and I think I got a "Masquerade Preserved" message. So I assumed that was the end of that.

I think they should have made it more clear that she really was a person from the past, and not someone trying to confuse me while bad guys attacked from the rear. Yes, I am paranoid. Which doesn't make me a bad person. Continuing to hold on to Heather makes me a bad person. I wonder if I will even be able to tell her to leave after she drinks my blood for a third time...

Oh, and I am so glad I did the job for the Tremere Primogen. I have a swanky new pad in downtown, it is loaded with booze. And Heather. Although the guy didn't seem too keen on me having my "special friend" stay there. I am hoping that she will be kept safe from harm by being in the Tremere HQ...

:shock: Are you tremere? He never gave me the option to do any missions. He did start talking about the plague, but I had already completed that quest for the Anarchs. You'd think being a fellow Ventrue the prince would hook a brother up with a nice penthouse loft downtown. But no, I'm still living in that pos apartment in SM. I see the prince's true colors, no loyalty to the clan. Bastard!

From what I understand, the Tremere and Nosferatu get special lodgings in Downtown, by doing the right quest for their respective leader.

For the Tremere, it wasn't the plague quest, it is something more obvious, if you have read the book in the library there in the Tremere HQ that will give you an idea of what task I mean.

I think everyone else gets access to an apartment in the Skyline building, if they suck up to the prince correctly. So, keep talking politely and doing his jobs, and you should get moved into better digs eventually. I think. That is what I read on that VTM board, anyway.

A note about playing malkavians: their insight will often give away plot spoilers right at the start of the very first dialogue exchange. Sometimes it's not too obvious because your character will use references from roman and greek mythology, but if you understand them, don't expect to be surprised by many plot twists (at least that surpsrised me when I experienced the same situations playing a ventrue). Don't get me wrong, it's incredibly cool, but their insight will often completely floor many of the npcs they encounter. Their inner sight makes for some funny conversations too.

An early example: A malkavian character will call out the therese - jenette scenario right at the very first dialogue exchange with jenette.

I have the same problem as Kevin Grey. I can't seem to find out how to initiate the Lilly quest.

The Lily highlights are, I believe, getting her stuff from the Diner, then getting the car information from the Bail Bond computer, then getting a diary from the car. You can follow the rest from the diary.

Its definitely a bug. There were pretty widespread reports over on the Vampire board that was linked here a few days ago. For whatever reason the quest won't initiate no matter how many times you talk to the guy on the beach.

I'd hold off on the game for a little while if I thought a patch was immenint but given Troika's patch history it will probably be a month or more.

Crazy. I've been absolutely bug free the whole way through. I even avoided the post-Leopold bug I'd read so much about.

I think the problem is not going through the proper dialogue sequence. I've done it where I get stuck in a loop without him giving the quest. IIRC, you need to get the dialogue to the point where you can say you will look into the thin blood mystery for him and that should give you the quest. But you need to do it on the first try or else it won't work. Hope that helps.

It might be a dialogue loop bug but the first time I talked to him I told him I would look into it so I assumed that I had the quest only to find out later I didn't.

Stuck on two early quests. Where can I find the blood bank freezer code. Also for the life of me I can't seem to find the apartments that Carson is in. The Bail Bondsman says to look in Santa Monica Apartments (I think) but they don't appear on the map. Is this something obvious I missed?

I think you need to hack the computer to get the freezer code, at least that's what I did.

The apartment you're looking for is in the same building as Mecurio(sp?).

Actually if you scare off the your ghoul Girl, then you do MISS out on a cool rare item. She will give you some Riot Armor. Very rare and very hard to find without her.

Doh! Curse my humanity for letting her go!

hehe I thought about releasing her, but the idea of having a hot, nubile young ghoul just waiting for me to come home was too much to resist. And now you're telling me she's hiding some riot armor from me? That's just plain HOT.

Does the cemetary quest ever timeout/disappear or can I go back and do it at any point in the game? I got bored of trying and failing at this juncture and thought I'd come back later...

Thanks.

I'm not sure, but I stopped trying after about 5 failed attempts. I don't know what the answer is to that quest, maybe having a character that has celerity or is great with guns? Maybe a tremere with the aoe blood attack would do well too. My ventrue just couldn't do it. The closest I came was about 10 seconds away from the countdown end.

If your roommate didn't feed her his/her blood in the hospital then you dont get to have her as a personal redhead ghoul later. Also she doesnt show up till after you do the Ship quest. So in my oppion its not a bug just a chance case of doing or not doing.

Roguetad, the best way to do the cemetary quest is this: You have to guard both gates for 5 minutes. Once you hit a undead it will stop attacking the gate and go after you. So tag each undead at the gate then run up to the next gate and tag each one. Note: During the last 2 minutes of the Quest as soon as you kill one another instantly respawns, so its better just to keep them aggro then to kill them in the last two minutes. Uzi's are great for keeping aggro as it does little damage, yet it keeps them from getting combo hits, and rarely does it kill unless they are already badly hurt..

Last Note: Know the shortest route between each gate so you can zip between them.

Edit: added - The Combat Shotgun is THE weapon for this quest if your Ranged skill is maxed, with the .357 as a good backup for taging them.

He didn't see her in the clinic at all, but maybe he went there before the ship mission.

Ok, I assume you're referring to the mirror that shows the reflection of the insane women even after you've killed the two in the room. Is there something you're supposed to do to trigger it? Am I just a moron (don't answer that..)
